Paper Dart Testing

In groups of three, you are going to try making a range of different paper

darts and test how they perform in practice.

You are going to change the type of dart you make,
and also the length of the dart.

To test the darts, you will throw them in a repeatable way,
and measure two things.

You are going to both measure the distance it travels before it touches the
ground (not necessarily where it lands) and the time it spends in the air before
it hits the ground.

Below are some dart designs, choose two to test.

Trebuchet

Designing a Trebuchet – Optimizing Weight and Length

Optimisation of Trebuchet:

1. The length of the payload arm should be 3.75 times longer than the counterweight arm.
2. The length of the sling should be the same length as the payload arm.
3. The initial angle between the counterweight arm and the support should be 45 degrees at launch.
4. The counterweight needs to be 133 times as heavy as your intended projectile.
